KELLER • Anyone out there with an interest in historical buildings in Goderich and enough working capital to buy such a property should get down to South Street before Monday to see Ken ButCMnsr Hutchins, a Goderich businessman who is leaving town later th# month to make his permanent home inthe wanner climate of Hawaii, has the former Polley Livery Stable for sale. The 110 -year old stone building which until recently housed a portion of Glenmark Lum- ber, will probably be coming down next' Tuesday unless somebody buys the property right away. Hutchins has applied for a demolition permit to remove the structure just behind the Bedford Hotel. But the Local Architectural Con- servation Advisory Committee (LACAC), a regular committee of town council, is urging town council to withhold the demolition permit because the building is of historical significance to the town. The subject brought hot debate Monday evening at the regular council session, and at a special meeting Tuesday afternoon, members of town council went into a closed session for more than one hour with the town solicitor, Dan 11/Ittphy. After lengthy deliberation Tuesday from which press and public were excluded, a motion was passed in open council to withhold the demolition permit for another five days,. until Monday, November 13. If after that time no interested persons have acquired the building, and if no one in that time has been able to convince Ken Hutchins the building should not be levelled, the demolition permit can be issued by the chief building inspector, the town's commissioner of works, Ken Hunter. In a recorded vote on the motion, only Councillor Eisa Haydon was opposed. Coun- cillor Dave Gower did not vote. He is out of the country. It is understood Hutchins wants to remove the building and clean up the site before leaving Don Kertnek of the tiodetich Legion, Branch 109, pins a poppy On Totality Neville in memory of the Canadian Soldierwho fought In two World Wars.

The premises has been for sale, but no buyers have come up with the price Hutchins is asking. The former developer has decided to demolish the buildings and sell the property as a business and commercial site. Mayor Deb Shewfelt ruled out a ossibility of the town buying the property. DEMOLITION FINAL After the meeting, Haydon told the Signal - Star she is "not essentially against" pulling down this particular building. "But I do think this situation deserves more time to look into all aspects of the matter," said Haydon. "Demolition is very final. It takes a longer time to build something than to tear it down." Haydon said she believes it is a question of whether town council is planning the future of The Square, or whether the whole thing is being left to the "private gain and whim" of the in- dividuals who own businesses in the core area bounded by East, Nelson, Waterloo and Elgin.
